Catching Butterflies

Butterflies seem to fly slow. I normally see them quite relaxing. They slowly fly around, hang on one flower for a while and then move on.  They suddenly became quite fast when I wanted to take pictures of them.  By the time I got ready to shoot,  they decide to fly away.  I managed to catch some (take pictures) of these beautiful creatures eventually.

I was so lucky to catch this one with quite smooth background.

This one seems to have a tough life. Its wings are torn.

This one looks like a different kind than most. It has a nice wing pattern.

These two were dancing around and found a good place together.

    I love the top photo the background is very unusual, I recently just visited a butterfly garden in Singapore so can understand his difficult it is to get a good photo of them. They always seem to know when you are watching

    queste bellissime farfalle ci ricordano la fragilità della vita, ma è meglio cogliere l’attimo e volare con loro tra i fiori!
